Welcome to the How of Business with your host, Henry Lopez, the podcast that helps you start, run and grow your small business.

And now, here is your host.

Welcome to this episode of the How of Business.

Today I have my co-host back with me, David Begin. David,

welcome to this episode. Thanks for having me, Henry. It's always a pleasure. I'm looking

forward to this, this dive on this big topic of decision-making. So it's a big one, it's a big one,

big topic and a lot to it. So we're going to probably break this up into a couple of episodes,

but we'll take a first round at it here.

This concept of the, not concept,

the process of making decisions, the hard decisions.

As the business owner, you and maybe your partners,

if you've got partners,

you have to make all of the important decisions.

You can't push it up the ladder to your

boss or ask a committee probably to come up with a consensus opinion. You have to make the decision.

And so how do we avoid often what can happen, which is decision paralysis or, as you've termed it,

often David, we've talked about this previously, decision fatigue that comes into play.

But these big decisions are all ours to make on top of all of the day-to-day decisions

that we have to make.

Sometimes as business owners, it feels like that's all we're doing is making decisions.

But that's what it's about.

That's what it takes to start and to grow a successful and profitable small business.
